The Union of Federal Commonwealth was officially brought into existence in the year 2018 with the 'Strasbourg Declaration', although at that time the state directly administered no territory whatsoever. Over the following years, through political manoeuvring and careful acquisition of large estates - the Commonwealth began to establish itself as something more akin to a collection of land-owners with a taste for independence. The Commonwealth persisted in this manner until the year 2030 where the 'Convention of St.Pauls cemented the position of the Commonwealth as an independent state (albeit with limited recognition).
With the recognition of the Russian Federation and Great Britain, the Commonwealth began to expand more aggressively into the crumbling European Union (which at that time was locked in brutal civil war (2040-2042)). Gaining the North and the coast of the French Republic along with land in; Austria; the Netherlands; Belgium; Luxembourg; Monaco; Denmark; Germany; Switzerland; Norway; and Sweden - the Commonwealth signed the 'Treaty of Paris' in which the European Union retreated south and acknowledged the Commonwealth's proprietorship of the acquired territory.
A state of peace existed with the United Kingdom and Russia up until the Third World War (2050-2055) (a war in which the Commonwealth remained a neutral party). Following the fall of Moscow, the United Kingdom (one of the last remaining original allies) declared a state of emergency and faced imminent economic meltdown. The Commonwealth armies swiftly annexed the British Isles and in the year 2053 declared London its capital alongside the legitimacy of the British Monarchy (the 'Windsor Declaration' recognised all other European monarchies and invited back the Danish Royal Family back from Greenland).
